First Day of School

Back to school today, ready for a whole new year! (The second picture of Clara on her own is her pretending to be at school writing.)

Fwd: Totoro today

Nona took Molly & a friend (& Opa) to the PFA to see My Neighbor Totoro this afternoon. It looks like they had a great time!

More pics, nice day.

Half Moon Bay pics

AKA, Pigeon Point Lighthouse

More great hair

My children have great hair!

Following are some guest posts from Nona. Or, at least, guest pictures. On Saturday we took our Z.W.A.C. adventure with Nona, Uncle Nouri, and Opa to the Pigeon Point Light House. Here are pictures of our time exploring the lighthouse, the wind, and a quiet little beach.

Z.W.A.C.: Art Hike

And, for this week's Z.W.A.C. we went on a staff-led art hike.

Superheros

For Superhero day, the kids were prepared, with capes & outfits fit for the most powerful heros. Clara wasted no time in deciding she was: Hot Lava Girl! While Molly worked on figuring out a name powerful enough for her aqua-colored-water persona.

Tuolumne Ranger & Detective!

And once again Molly earned her Tuolumne Ranger badge. Clara was only slightly disappointed when she learned she couldn't be a ranger yet, but happily completed the detective work and was quite proud of the certificate & magnifying glass that she earned. Later, she did ask exactly what she could do with the certificate.

Happy Birthday Sofi!

And once again, I got to celebrate my birthday at camp, with beautiful handmade gifts, cards, and a table decorated with found items! Thanks everyone!

Berkeley Family Camp 2013

On Sunday we got back from 4 nights at Berkeley Tuolumne Camp. I suppose it's a tradition now: it seems if you do something 3 years in a row it pretty much becomes a thing you do, right?

This year was as good as in the past - and it was once again really fun to have the grandparents with us. In addition to enjoying all the same activities as last year, Molly tried (and loved!) archery (even getting her first bullseye!), Nona & Nana brought their looms, we decided to allow the kids to get one treat from the camp store per day, and Clara & Zach made a Mastermind board (since we forgot our board at home, but brought the pieces).
